#2I recall considerable press coverage of the assassination of Anwar al-Awlaki and his son. Granted, both were US citizens but Muslims -- family originally from Yemen. Many of these issues were raised at that time (2011).

#4Greenwald himself is a propaganda tool.
Mentions of victims in his reports: Yazidi 0 Jewish 0 Hindu 0 Christian 0
For all complaints about "western imperialism" or propaganda Greenwald sure is mum a about Arabic/Islamic ones.
I wish he took his younger toyboy and settled in a good muslim area. To live the bullshit he peddles. Move to Iran, Jordan or what about Qatar?
Anwar al-Awlaki wasn't a victim. Him and his jihadi son got what was coming for their homophobic misogynist bottoms. The sooner islamist bootlicker leftists can get their heads around that, the better. Until then you will keep feeding the far right with people who have something to lose to muslim terrorists.

Yeah, but those are victims of the Taliban. The article was about the victims of attacks by Western countries: "Muslim victims of American and Western violence are completely disappeared."
